Hi,

It says I need to make the second <a> "pies.html", but it looks to me like I have, don't know why it won't pass. Thanks

<ul> <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>

  <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>

  <a href="candy.html"> <li>Candy</li> </a>

</ul>
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <ul>
      <a href="cakes.html"><li>Cakes</li></a>

      <a href="pies.html"><li>Pies</li></a>

      <a href="candy.html"><li>Candy</li></a>

Hello Mary,

You are on the right track, the only thing is is that each list item <li> needs to be a link. So the list item should wrap the link and will look like this <li><a href="link.html">link text</a></li>.

SPOILER

Below is the code that passed for me...

  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
  </ul>

Happy Coding!
